2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

This guy needs to be in fucking prison. What is it going to take. Fuck.

I legitimately think he will die before ever seeing consequences.

The people in charge are too fucking scared to actually punish him because TERRORISM WORKS

They just straight up don't want to punish people because they're afraid some MAGAts might get mad and ~~start~~ continue to shoot things up.

They tried to murder members of congress and the vice president once, and nobody involved has recieved a punishment fitting of the crime. Certainly not the punishment we were taught happens when we were in school.

Focus on the lost revenue for small businesses owners. That's all these shitfuck Republicans care about.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, they don't give a fuck about small businesses.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Oh but they do. Small businesses like hedge funds. They only have a small number of employees, so Republicans define them as a small business.
